BROOKLYN. IA; BALTIMORE. L
New YORK, April 26-The Brooklyn club
defeated their Baltimore rivals for the third
time to-day. About two thousand Ave hundred
people were present. The field was quacmire,
and many of the errors made were due to that
condition of things. The players at times slip
ped about in ridiculous manner The home
club outplayed their opponents in batting, field
ing and base running. The game was virtually
over after the second inning, when the Brook
lyns scored eleven runs, after Davis and Tucker
had made errors, and through Smiths Wild
pitching. The remainder of the game was bet
ter played but had little interest for the specta
tors. A running catch by Smartwood, in the
second inning. was the only remarkable play OF

bat. Burns, who is credited with five hits,

Umpire Bauer called the game. King made his
first appearance with the Browns, and did ex-
ceptionally good work. After the third inning
but few scattering hits were made off hisSe

be interesting. save in its victory for the home
team The Browns outplayed the Cincinnatis
at every point, particularly distinguishing
themselves by magnifcens base running
Bushong caught King beautifully. and threw
uperripgly to bases. Corkhilrs heavy hitting

ATHLETICS, 49, METRoPoLITANs, II.
PHILADELPHIA. April 26--The game to-day
between the Athletic and Metropolitan clubs was
characterized by the heaviest batting of the sea-
son. Twenty-one bona fde hits and ten bases on
balls were obtained off Atkisson, aud Cushman
Jared nearly as badly. The Metropolitans lost
the game principally through costly errors and
threw away a splendid chance of teing the score
by the most stupid kind of base running. The
feature of the game the batting of Lyons,
who made clean hit each time he was at bat
"a three Dagger, two doubles and three singles.
